"Eating Local: Different Perspectives – A Panel Discussion"

Thursday, February 28, 2008
12:20 – 1:10 pm
135 Emerson Hall on the Cornell Campus

_Eating Local: Different Perspectives_
A panel discussion featuring Jennifer Wilkins, PhD, Division of 
Nutritional Sciences; Professor Joe Regenstein, Food Science Dept.; and 
Ken Goodwin, Wegman's Supermarket.

"Buy local" is a growing trend. Consumers are aware of the benefits, but 
there are issues and concerns as well. Food quality and energy costs of 
local food are not always favorable. The panel will explore the benefits 
and downsides from several perspectives, including what a local 
supermarket is doing to work with local suppliers.

Refreshments will be served!
